Pre-run spin of 18:22
Treadmill run on day w/temps near 80 & high pollen.
2 mi WU w/Run Drills and striders
6 x 1/2 mile repeats with 2:30-3:00 recovery. 2:54, 2:54, 2:51, 2:51, 2:49, 2:49
Took mucho effort to finish these out; very hot/humid; allergy messed-up eyes. But told myself I wanted to push it. Lucky I didn't go off the side or back as not used to these paces. #LinkinPark #CharliXCX
Something to think about...why Tues and Thurs for quality work?
I can't do what Meb will be detailing in his new book or what Hanson elites do or others with the right work schedule: base training on a rotating 9-day plan to allow 2 full days of recovery between each quality effort. I have always ran quality on Tues & Thurs but in reality, if doing LR on Sat morning, then have 2.5 days recovery on Mon; then 2 days for Thurs; then only 1 day before LR...but can always run that slower or take off Friday before. I think the Tues-Thurs came about from runners making Sunday their LR day, especially when racing on Sat.
